The WebSphere MQ display route application

All WebSphere MQ platforms, with the exception of WebSphere MQ for z/OS, provide an application called the WebSphere MQ display route application, which is available by way of the command dspmqrte. The WebSphere MQ display route application provides a command line interface that allows you to do the following:

Configure, generate, and put trace-route messages into a queue manager network.

Characteristics of the trace-route messages can be specified such as:

  • The destination of the trace-route message.

  • How the trace-route message mimics another message.

  • How the trace-route message should be handled as it is routed through a queue manager network.

  • Whether activity recording or trace-route messaging are used to record activity information.

Order and display activity information related to a trace-route message.

The WebSphere MQ display route application can arrange in order and display any activity information returned to it.
